At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK – and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In Strangeland, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?In the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours.Strangeland is Jon’s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn’t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting – either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’s both.A trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, Strangeland is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.

'You see, if only they didn’t speak English in America, then we’d treat it as a foreign country – and probably understand it a lot better’‘the sanest man in America’ – Bill Bryson‘Jon Sopel nails it’ – Emily Maitlis**With a brand new chapter, charting Trump's first year in power**As the BBC’s North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately. In the time it’s taken for a reality star to go from laughing stock to leader of the free world, Jon has travelled the length and breadth of the United States, experiencing it from a perspective that most of us could only dream of: he has flown aboard Air Force One, interviewed President Obama and has even been described as ‘a beauty’ by none other than Donald Trump.Through music, film, literature, TV and even through the food we eat and the clothes that we wear we all have a highly developed sense of what America is and through our shared, tangled history we claim a special relationship. But America today feels about as alien a country as you could imagine. It is fearful, angry and impatient for change.In this fascinating, insightful portrait of American life and politics, Jon Sopel sets out to answer our questions about a country that once stood for the grandest of dreams, but which is now mired in a storm of political extremism, racial division and increasingly perverse beliefs.

Jon Fredrickson was 16 when he started to complain of headaches and sickness. An eyesight test revealed the shocking news that he had developed a brain tumour. Over the months and years that followed Jon and his devoted family endured a roller-coaster ride of treatment and therapy, diagnosis and disappointment, until finally no more could be done for Jon, and he died at the age of only 26 with his devoted parents at his bedside. Jon's illness did not prevent this brave young man from setting up home on his own, travelling around the country independently and embarking on a successful career. His mother Jacky kept a diary of her years of trial, and she has now developed it into this moving and inspiring book.

Broerne til verdenAllerede ved udgivelsen af det andet bind i dette syvbindsværk, der nu er under genudgivelse, beskrev den svenske litteraturkritiker Lars Olof Franzén fra Dagens Nyheter hovedpersonen Jon Bæksgård som en ”Odysseus i vor samtid”. Jon er netop en rejsende – og det ikke blot geografisk. Vi følger ham gennem de sidste næsten halvfjerds års mange politiske systemer i ofte spændingsmættede historier, der myldrer med samtidens kendte figurer. Men vi rejser også med på drømmeagtige eventyr i fortiden, fra stenalderen og op til dag. Med Jon Bæksgård forfølger Dalager store spørgsmål af eksistentiel og moralsk art fra Den Kolde Krig og op til nutidens Amerika under Trump.”En suite om at være menneske i senmoderniteten på godt og ondt,” Bo Tao Michaelis, Politiken”Dalagers tankevækkende storværk om Jon og samtiden,” Klaus Rothstein, Weekendavisen”En triumf for den politiske thriller,” Süddeutsche Zeitung”Verdenslitteratur ... nogle af de fineste og mest ambitiøse romaner, der kan læses nu," Dagens NyheterJonOm Jons barndom og brydningsfulde ungdom frem til universitetsårene i halvfjerdsernes Århus.”En intens sanset beskrivelse af en ung mands udvikling fra barndom til ungdom og samtidig en skildring af det omgivende samfunds udvikling … Flot, sammenhængende roman,” Karsten Just i Bibliotekstjenesten”Der er optrin … som bringer Sandemoses sømandsskildringer i erindring. Som en flænge i sofastykkets lærred, hvor man pludselig kan se ud i den store vide verden og fornemme, at der ikke er frelse at hente der. Men indsigt, proportionsfornemmelse og lidt selvforglemmelse. Romanen lyser af nærvær og poesi,” Peter Poulsen i DR´s litterære magasin, Perspektivkassen.Stig Dalager, en af dansk litteraturs mest internationalt udbredte forfattere, udgivet og spillet i 34 lande. I 2005 tildelt den livsvarige ydelse under Statens Kunstfond.Alle bøger i serien kan læses selvstændigt.

Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland

Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland

Árni Heimir Ingólfsson

Indiana University Press
2019
sidottu
In Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland, Árni Heimir Ingólfsson provides a striking account of the dramatic career of Iceland's iconic composer. Leifs (1899–1968) was the first Icelander to devote himself fully to composition at a time when a local music scene was only beginning to take form. He was a fervent nationalist in his art, fashioning an idiosyncratic and uncompromising 'Icelandic' sound from traditions of vernacular music with the aim to legitimize Iceland as an independent, culturally empowered nation. In addition to exploring Leifs's career, Ingólfsson provides detailed descriptions of Leifs's major works and their cultural contexts. Leifs's music was inspired by the Icelandic landscape and includes auditory depictions of volcanos, geysers, and waterfalls. The raw quality of his orchestral music is frequently enhanced by an expansive percussion section, including anvils, stones, sirens, bells, ships' chains, shotguns, and cannons. Largely neglected in his own lifetime, Leifs's music has been rediscovered in recent years and hailed as a singular and deeply original contribution to twentieth-century music. Jón Leifs and the Musical Invention of Iceland enriches our understanding and appreciation of Leifs and his music by exploring the political, literary and environmental contexts that influenced his work.

This biography profiles Jon Stewart, television's most incisive deliverer of the fake news. As the host of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, he has attracted a vast audience that sees him as one of the few credible sources of cultural critique TV.As comfortable and adept at interviewing Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, U.S. President Barack Obama, activist Al Sharpton, or political commentator Bill O'Reilly as he is chatting with Angelina Jolie, Bill Gates, or Denis Leary, Jon Stewart has emerged as one of the hottest television personalities and most powerful media icons of the 21st century. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, currently Comedy Central's longest running show, has launched the successful careers of Stephen Colbert (host of The Colbert Report) and Steve Carell (star of The 40 Year Old Virgin and the popular television series The Office), and an appearance on Stewart's half-hour segment is coveted by both political figures and Hollywood celebrities as one of the most important places to be seen.Well-read, impossibly well-versed in current events, charismatic, and self-deprecating, Stewart has successfully garnered a broad-based following of viewers, from teens to senior citizens. Ideal for students and general readers alike, this biography profiles the always controversial, always prepared Stewart, including his early life, his first break in comedy, and his meteoric rise to joining an elite group of well-known and often-quoted media personalities.

Jon & Kate Plus Eight: "Reality" TV & the Selling of the Gosselins: "Reality" TV & the Selling of the Gosselins

Polly Kahl

Kahl Counseling Press

nidottu
Polly Kahl started blogging about the Gosselins after they moved to her small town of Wernersville, Pennsylvania. In the next two years she experienced a whirlwind of life lessons about reality TV and the business of entertainment as the Gosselin family splintered and eventually broke apart. Jon & Kate Plus Eight: "Reality" TV & the Selling of the Gosselins is full of insightful interviews, discussions and practical solutions from researcher Jennifer L Pozner, child advocate Paul Petersen, actor Eric Roberts, body language expert Dr. Lillian Glass, Becki Dilley, parent of the Dilley sextuplets, and other experts on the entertainment industry and reality TV. The author, a professional counselor, adds her unique voice to the discussion with commentaries on the psychological aspects of the Gosselin phenomenon in this examination of "reality" TV and its impact on a fractured family TLC once called Jon & Kate Plus Eight. ENDORSEMENTS Polly Kahl's book takes the reader on a shocking journey behind the fake smiley faces of a popular reality television show. Having participated in realty television myself, I know the pressure camera crews are under to create interesting television from what might otherwise be boring times. Polly's story casts that pressure and its effects in a new, and rather ruthless, light. I don't know if this story has any heroes; perhaps everyone is a victim or villain. It certainly makes me see today's reality TV from a new and more critical perspective. -John Elder Robison, bestselling author of Look Me in the Eye and Be Different Some wonderful works of art have emerged from blogs Juno, the movie...and now Polly Kahl's book. We've heard horror stories about the life of Shirley Temple, and her mother's cold obsession with her success, and her horror as her daughter started to grow up and "lose her cute." The Brady Bunch kids were hated by the real children of the actors playing the parents. What happens when there's no separation? When the show family and the real family are one? Where does a child turn then? This book forces us to look at that, and gives us a means to take some steps to protect children in the fast-growing industry of reality TV. The beauty of it is that Polly offers solutions to the problems on which she sheds light. And we all need to be part of the solution. As the author points out, this is a time to think with our hearts. -Eliza & Eric Roberts, Actors & Child Advocates Prospective child stars and their stage parents have a best friend in Polly Kahl. Her very readable book on The Gosselins can serve as a warning to all future Michaels. While extremely entertaining, it is also a valuable reference as to the impact of reality TV on a family. It is a must read for anyone interested in celebrity culture and child development. -Michael Brody M.D., Chair of the Media Committee, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Being in the spotlight is no easy task. I should know, having been a child actor from the ages of three to eighteen but I could leave the set, go home and be a kid. Not so for the eight Gosselin children, they have no escape. Polly Kahl looks at the sad truth about reality shows and their effect on the lives of their young participants. -Jon Provost, former child actor of film and television, Timmy in TV's Lassie This book should be required reading for any college course that studies the popular genre of reality television. Counselor Polly Kahl's background in psychology gives her an added edge in crafting interviews that draw out vital information while packing a punch. Reality TV fans and fans of Jon & Kate Plus Eight will never think of the show in the same way again after reading this compassionate study of the effects of reality TV on the Gosselins. Click "add to cart" for this interesting read. -Suzanne Finnamore, bestselling author of Split and The Zygote
